There is a kid at school that claims to be the best drummer in Florida and apparently everyone else sucks. (he included Buddy Rich in this as well).
ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!! This is what he did to me today!

I was speaking to Gary Folchi (Owner of Precision Drum Co.) about ordering a blue acrylic 4 piece. As soon as I said that the kid runs over and says: "Why would you pay money for a piece of plastic drum? Blue is a homosexual color, Precision looks like a crappy company!" Can you believe this?!?
I then had to speak to Gary and explain to him that it was an idiot in my school, and that I was sorry that he had to hear that.

Seriously guys! What should I do??

What should you do about what? Being fifteen years old and having fifteen-year-old friends who act like fifteen-year-olds?

I guess the only thing you can do is grow up. Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds. The drag about it is that you have to make a living, you know, earn money and all that. When you get to that point this annoying jerk kid, because that's what he is, a kid, will have long been forgotten.

The story sounds ridiculous, but if true, that kid insulted one of the best custom drum companies on the planet.

I know what you mean. This story is ridiculous because thats what this kid is (Zack).
I was very insulted by this when he said that because of how good of friends me and Precisions owner have become (Gary). Me and Gary have been working on getting me a custom set which I WILL HAVE.
I could tell that Gary was hurt when Zack said that, so that was when my anger reached a new level.

Send him to "South Fla" and ask for KBadd.....first I will laff at him.......uncontrollably.......he is insecure about everything....then I will kick his a$$....then I will drum battle him and he will be embara$$ed.

Guys like this need to be "beaten down" so THEN they can be humbled. I am sorry you are going thru this!

my first thought what belt him? ive never had much chew at school as after a while of peopl acting like this i just beat them down. not ideal and not something i like doing, but sometimes a good punch or 5 does the trick. violence does solve things sometimes.

so your in high school marching band? do you march snare? what does he march?

if you are above him on the totem pole, just point out your superiorness and continue about the day.........or....give him pushups or a few laps.......if this was marching season...

Yes I am in the Admiral Farragut Academy Marching Band. He marches with a snare as well. But I am going to quit band to got to SAT preparation class. (Standardized Assessment Test).
I need to work on grades before drumming :(

Just got in trouble for fighting him.
I was playing the snare in band class, and I dropped a stick. He took it and threw it in the garbage. He then stated "You suck at drumming, all your equipment belongs there."
So now I'm going to detention for the next 2 months at school.

Wow. This guy just manipulated you into 2 months of detention. He effectively kicked your arse. Beware he just may manipulate you out of band and out of competition.

You asked a question of those here, received good advice and ignored it.

You lost.

Hopefully this abject failure will wise you up.

Dear Wy Yung, if you read any further:

So, he WON! Hurray! :)

Now, the thing with bullies and nutcases like these, is that they are impossible to eradicate. Just like in virtual life, in real life one should just not feed the trolls. You will always keep on encountering idiots in life, the best thing to do is to let them be happy in all their idiocy. They're not worthy of your attention.

Fighting is never the answer, you may think it is, but that annoying guy at the pub you take a swing at later in life might have a defective vertebrae and a single hit could kill him.

That is a long prison sentence for a dispute.

At 15 detention may be the worst you have to deal with, but assault charges are very real once you get older, better not to fall into bad habits.

The principal shouldn't have let you off, I'm not saying that you were wrong about the guy being a jerk, but by letting you get away with something like that he essentially encouraged you to use it as an answer to your future problems.

Effectively all that has happened here is that some wanker kid says his "dog is bigger than the OP's" is all. If that's a case of "bullying", I'll eat what's left of my hair!

This pettiness happens every day of the year, all year round where children are concerned......although this level of pettiness is more common amongst 5 year olds. At 15, I'd really have thought one would be better equipped to handle it......evidently not. If anyone seriously thinks that this is a serious issue, then they need to toughen the hell up......and fast. Or you're just not gonna make it through the next 60 years of your life.....pure and simple.

This thread is not worthy of our attention. Sound advice was given long ago, it should have been noted and the OP get on with the rest of his life. I can't believe this (non) issue has carried on for 2 whole pages.

Joey, you really need to move on mate. You're 15 now dude....time to start acting like a big boy. You'll meet far bigger tossers than this guy along the way.
